Thoro nro plenty of people living today who
well romomber tho popular excitement cailnod by
this International marriage. It was estimated
that tho wedding presents represented a value
or more than $100,000.
Certainly no marriage over started out with a
fairer outlook. Hut unfortunatoly tho prospect
was not realized, Sartorls, who was an Idler, like
many Englishmen of his class, did not make a
satisfactory husband, and Mrs. Sartorls was
eventually compelled to dlvorco him. Hor son,

On tho evening of Jnn. Si, 1812, Elizabeth Tylor,
third daugbtor or President Tylor, then a girl of
elghtoon, was married In the blue room of the
Whlto Housu to William Waller, a mombor of
congross from Wllllamsbrug, Va.
It Is not possible In all Instances to trace tho
subsequent history of tho Whlto llouso brides,
souio of whom, Indeed, such ns thoso of tho Jack
son administration, were persons of no promi
nence apart from tho fact that they woro mnrrlcd
In tho White Houso.
Soon after this marriage Mrs. Tyler died, and
within a short time tho wldowod president took
to hlniBCir a second wife, whoso name was Julia
Gardlnor. She was a Now York girl.
Returning from abroad with hor father, Miss
Gardiner visited WnBhlngton and met President
Tyler.
Soon afterward President Tyler bocamo on
gagod to Miss Gardiner, and they woro mnrried In
Now York, the bridal party returning Immediately
to tho Whlto House, whoro tho woddlng recoptlon
wub hold.
Mr. Tyler was llfty-slx and his brldo only
twenty. John Qulncy AdnmB, then In congress
and a bitter enemy of thfe president, spoke of tho
mnrrlago as a "union or January and May."
Young Mrs. Tylur did the honors or tho White
Houso for eight months, until tho close or tho ad
ministration. Then she and hor husband wont
to their Virginia homo, whoro thoy lived seven
teen years. When Mr. Tylor died his widow took
her children to her mother's homo nt Carlcton

Andrew Jackson was remarkably dovold of rela

he was fond of young people that ho made so
much of his wire's relations. Two of tho latter
woro marrlod In tho Whlto Houso at his request
during his administration. A third young woman

Elizabeth Martin was a relative or Mrs. Jack
Bon's. Sho was married In the Whlto Houso to n
young clerk,, Lowta Randolph, a boii or Martini
Jofforson Rnudolph, who was (ho oldest daughter
of Thomas Jofforson,
This taken us back ns far as tho administration
of John Qulncy AdnmB, who had throo sons. Tho
handsomout of tho throo brothers was John
AdamH, a graduate of Har
vard, notoriously hot tem
pered and Inheriting the ar
rogance or his- grandTathor,
artor whom he was named.
At that time a joung man
named Hellen, from Philadel
phia, was enjployed In the
White House In a secretarial
capacity. Ho had a very
pretty sister named Mary,
nnd John Adams roll in lovo
with her, finally obtaining
tho consent or his parents to
their marriage, notwithstand

Tho cctemony was performed In tho circular
room, and there was dancing afterward, the pres

It has been said or tho Monroes that they made
fewor friends in Washington than any presiden
tial family beforo or sjnec. Thoy were very ex
clusive and so formal Mint Mr. Monroe onco re
fused to see a near relative who called at tho
Whlto Houso because tho visitor was not attired
in tho small clothes appropriate to full dress.
Mrs. Hay, the eldost daughter, would not visit
tho wives, ot tho diplomats because they did not
call first upon her. Thus It came about that
when tho youngest daughter,. Maria Hester Mon
roe, married her cousin, Samuel Laurence Gou
.vorncur, then secretary to the president, nobody
wns at tho wedding except members of the fami
lies of tho bride nnd bridegroom. It took place
In tho clrculnr room at noon on March 0, 1S20,

They had throo children, two or them boys.
Maria Monroo Gouvornour died at Oak Hill at
tho ago ot forty-nlno and was burled there.
Anna Todd of Philadelphia was married at the
Whlto Houso In 1S12 to John G. Jackson, a mem
bor of congress from Virginia and a granduncle
of Stonownll Jackson.
History Is unfortunately silent, in rogard to sub

All of which merely leads up to the fact that
on the evening of March 11, 1811, Lucy, the
